Flower shooting trip
Last thursday (25th feb 2010), we went to a nursery in Jeddah(Saudi Arabia) for shooting flowers.
The trip was organized by AL ADASAH HOUSE, a Saudi photography group based in Jeddah. I Woke up very early morning (05:30 a.m) and met 3 of my friends Mukhtar, Murtada and Rustoom. Later at (7:15 a.m) we reached the meeting point in Jeddah. We waited and eventually nearly 25 members joined us (boys/girls). Most amazingly I found out that the Nursery is located inside the International Airport AREA. I've seen planes flying over our heads so many times and We were warned not to take any pictures of flying planes. It was like Nursery was on the RUNWAY. At 08:00 a.m. we started taking pictures in the designated areas of Nursery and finished at 10:00 a.m.
I took 432 pictures in those two hours and found just (ONLY) 14 pictures interesting or notable in my view (as I think). But I am not sorry for that because this was my first time taking pictures of flowers without any teacher's (anyone's) instruction. Beside that I noticed that most of the peoples were using COSTLY MACRO and ZOOM lenses, while I was shooting with a normal (18-55mm) Lense. Though I didn't manage to take good pics, but I am happy to learn something new from those practical actions.
Anyway, Here I am glad to share those 14 pics with you and looking forward to see your comments.
Thank you...
